Test Drive The All New 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS 3.6

[thegmcar]

it is QUITE? wonder its quite or no?

[fallenupfromhell]

you know the one thing I miss most about american cars, that I wish they'd bring back, is the steering wheel mounted transmission lever for automatics. Seems like everyone has gone for the center mounted now. :\

[SBrandon562]

So you have to have your phone hooked up to the GPS in order for it to work?

[WizVidz100]

this thing has stearing weel heat and cooling also in the driver and pasenger seats it even has xm radio and a bazilion other things

[thorfoot1]

Too much attention paid to sound . turn it off

[Puzzoozoo]

Nice car. Ideal for a coast to coast trip.

[MrSamkerr123]

your not whering your fancy clothes

[MsKia0302]

I wanted the Regal but when I sat in it, I felt like a fat 40 year old man in a little sports car! That car is tiny. I then sat in a 2012 fully loaded Lacrosse and fell in love!!!!!!

[Boonkieebearr97]

I always loved this car! I want one....but im 14. Lol.

[nashville1510]

wait and lexus competes w. this.

You are the best reviewer ever, you should be on TV instead of that Jeremy Clarkson clown he would only say.. it's American so it sucks, I hate people that take that TV show seriously instead of for what it is, an entertainment show, as actual reference for car performance it sucks because everything absolutely everything is bended to Clarkson likings, do you see "the other" car performed blatantly better? no way.. the car that Clarkson chose is the absolute best because you know.. he chose it.

[toyota4runner1000]

its just like my aunts 2008 lexus es 350

[bradfordD1]

beautiful luxury car one of Gm's best vehicle, i would recommend this to anyone my aunt has one and she loves it thanks gm

[TheLegend626]

nice car

[alstonian78]

@MidnightRambler73 Thanks for letting me know the name of the song. Totally digging it :)

[Dark0Temptation]

HOWEVER.. it is a really nice car and so comfortable! The only thing I don't like is that automatic transmission does not very well on upwards roads with a lot of curves!

[Dark0Temptation]

lame vid

[SoHotRightNow1000]

AWW U SHOULD VE RAN OVER SOMEBODY

[alstonian78]

whats the name of the song?



[peacefrog0521]

what (or who) did you hit at 7:48 ?

[VinylToVideo]

Great song haha.

[WithUniquity]

Wow even through the video you can tell how good the sound system is

[Jarqzz]

Is it RWD or FWD?

[Mikei97]

@Jarqzz FWD



[benchod94]

this car is called the allure in canada becuz la crosse means self pleasure in quebec lol

[topdollars2]

@benchod94 in the canadian site is called lacrosse... maybe it was called allure til the 2011 model...

[benchod94]

@topdollars2 yeah there was an 05 at the dealer i worked that said allure i always thought it was la crosse so i looked it up lol but ur right aboutthe new 1

[7c7c7]

@benchod94 La means "The", and Crosse means "Rip-off" too!

[quazi6995]

@benchod94 no it doesnt lacrosse is a french word for the staff a bishop carries

[benchod94]

@quazi6995 its a slang term and its only quebec french

[IRQ1Conflict]

@benchod94 Actually, it's been changed back to the Lacrosse...er masturbate now. Lol.

[benchod94]

@IRQ1Conflict im quite aware of this

[mattbenluke]

It is called the lacrosse in Canada........

[benchod94]

@mattbenluke I am well aware of this pal

did you not the at least dozen people that have already responded to this??

It is called that now the old gen was called the allure for the reason I stated

[mattbenluke]

@benchod94 They've always been two different cars

[mattbenluke]

@benchod94 They've always been two different cars

[benchod94]

@mattbenluke your a fucking idiot

[mireya1rivera]

@benchod94 thats exactly what you get when you drive this lol

[Ghost96ification]

ugly

[lpd830]

@Ghost96ification Doosh bag



[qwerty14341]

you should buy the lacrosse.. i have one... exellent

[TruJoker1]

Thanks for the ride!

[issamworld]

iim wondering what would be the direct competition for this Buick LaCrosse CXS ?

i did config this with all options and the final price was 54k before tax.

[neji2000000000000000]

such a nice car i was looking at BMWs and audis but once i saw this i knew this is going to be my first car

[juliheavy26RM]

beautyful car , excelent desing

[drberto]

Why do Americans do these wonderful cars with auto transmission?I mean sittin in drivers seat you got to feel the real feeling only with manual transmission!

[JoshJW11]

@drberto Everyone cant drive sticks, especially people buying a car like this which is for mostly family driving. I could understand you wanting a mustang or comaro to be all stick shift.

[drberto]

@JoshJW11 Sure,but not only sports cars deserve manual shifts.A familist guy likes also manual shift driving..

[redneckfl1]

What ever happened to bench seats. I hate those center consoles that go all the way to the dash. It makes the car feel too crampy and confined. I've driven Buick Lesabres in the past and they felt big and roomy because they had the split bench seat with the fold down console with the cupholders. Plus I hate my shifter on the floor. I like column shifters better. I went on all GM's websites and the only vehicle they offer without the stupid console connected to the dash is their pickup trucks.

[applesmnch2]

@redneckfl1 i luved that feature, made it much more practical

[Trovlit]

omg i want it ititit!!!!!!!!!!!!



[rch1jr]

I find it difficult to drive with both hands on the wheel

[JoshJW11]

@rch1jr Me too!

[Annihilator1111]

the 2010-present Buick LaCrosse is assembled in

Kansas City, Kansas, USA

Shanghai, China

[robbie5448]

@Annihilator1111 LOOK 1 MORE DAMN FACT I SWEAR....

[Annihilator1111]

@robbie5448 kyle lets me do them so go and ask him

[zoomeristen]

Is this car based on the same platform as the new Saab 9'5 ???? I think it's a good looking car !!!!

[rozzalenda123]

looks nice from the inside but ugly from the outside

[udical]

@rozzalenda123 i agree

[0ct0ct09]

In 2010 GM sold 2.35 million vehicles in China. Amount them is the Buick brand, which in the top selling brand in China. Yet in Japan and S.Korea. They limit the numbers of American cars sold there.

[StaringAtShlt]

god is great beer is good

[giannial1985]

The new Buick's are really nice. Really like the LaCrosse. Only thing is, you can hear the road noise in it. There are other cars in it's class that have no road noise at all.

[xvrhernandez349]

is it bad that im young but i desperately want one??? lol

[whaaddupitszaac]

@xvrhernandez349 no, im 17 and think they look rediculously good. but the buick name is throwing me off from getting one

[deedundone]

As I young buyer, I actually want one. Only because of the awd segment. When I look at what I can get with awd, the Buick lacrosse really does look like an eye catcher. OMG I CANT FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE. Im buying one lol

[sumthinserious83]

I appreciate your car test drives. Saves me some time at the dealership and helps to eliminate some car choices from my list.

[pumpkinpieguy77]

still an old people car

[4cavs23]

@pumpkinpieguy77 put it this way, would an old lady be driving a 40,000 dollar car with xenon lights, nav system,rear enterantment system, heads up display, momory seats, air conditioned seats, temtonic shift or what ever its called. i dont think so. look at this way can this be an old person car def, but the new generations of these cars hell no theres way to much fucking techlonhy in them they wouldnt even know how to work the radio. what do you think about it from that perspective?

[pumpkinpieguy77]

@4cavs23 man, no offence but you sound like the classic car salesmen.

[4cavs23]

@pumpkinpieguy77 not gonna lie dude im only 17 and im just sure you just here buick lacrosse and you think old people, 10 years ago that was the case now no way is that the case. my parents own same model and same features

[pumpkinpieguy77]

@4cavs23 im 17 also, i just dont know why you got offended when i said it looks like an old peoples car. i know its not its just ive seen alot of old people driving these lately. i accualy think this car cool in a weird way.

[deedundone]

@4cavs23 My grandfather owns an 05..........an 07..................BUT! I am for the new younger Buick and want a 40 thousand dollar Lacrosse with 19 in 5 thousand dollar rims......lol just saying.

[4cavs23]

@deedundone we just got that exact one ours ran about 40,000 ill have a video of it on my channel soon along with the corvette zr1 were gettin.

[4cavs23]

@pumpkinpieguy77 ok that made no sense but who cares, put it this way the car itself is not an old people car but i guess the name buick to some people means old people car.

[snappy8806]

4:05 secondes into the viedeo, the blue lighing on the spedometer.it seems to fluctuate with speed and car movement up and down/bums on the road. do you know if thats a feature? I like it... its a nice little nuance.i'll be graduating from nursing school soon and i plan on buying a buick lacrossse

[azizbek79]

i see some progress but still there are some redneck style feel it gives. going to the right direction for sure

[victoriadish]

they should of put the bigger avaliable wheels on this car the smaller ones dont look right

[MotoRAZRV9]

Do the car doors lock after a certain speed?

[nofgood4live]

looks like a chevy epica??. and thats from deweo

[iGeorgeApple1]

PLEASE DO A CXL my aunt just got it and she has the cxl and i want to know more about it !!1

[24bigDex]

that's is my favorite car in history. as a matter of fact, this is better than the taurus sho. i think this car can at least out run the sho. the lucerne was my former favorite car. now its this right here.

[golfmaniac007]

@24bigDex your "favorite" cars are Buicks? how funny is that. i always thought Buicks were the better quality of American brands. the interior styling with the lines going downwards is depressing. i know they like to be different, but the lines should be going sideways. not good flow.

[kittylpshtz]

"WOW",nice video the driver needs to showcase the car (NOT) the loud music we get it the stereo works...

[dvspot]

The only thing I dislike is the center console. But great car overall.

[laquanallday]

i would get this car over the nissan max '11

[0090086]

i love your test drivings!! i was wondering if u could make a test drive of the cts coupe, i love that car and i want to buy it!! im from Mexico

[iGaRaai90]

looks like a re badged malibu or astra to me .

[yellofury]

wow America is making some genuinely beautiful cars nowadays

and to the guy critiquing the video , while your points are valid

he isnt making a video specific of all the nitty details of this car but a general overview

he pretty much follows the same formula in every one of his 900 most ucrrent videos which I appreciate because it makes comparing different cars much easier

[SimplyDavid42]

what a beautiful car...

[jprajkumar]

I want to throw up on that center stack!

[jprajkumar]

I want to throw up on that center stack!

[al2683]

3) Focus on some of the technology. The vehicle has bluetooth technology but you don't have a bluetooth enabled device to show how it works? You should pay a little more attention to the actual features.

All in all not too bad, watched this because my wife and I are actually considering one of these, along with the Buick SUV.

[7477238]

@al2683 4) You can STFU. The internet is just a search tool, if anyone has any genuine interest in looking at a new car you should get off your lazy ass and test drive it.

[al2683]

@7477238 I was giving him pointers to improve his videos, you uptight fucking faggot. I have test driven this car along with dozens of others before we purchased our last vehicle in January.

[al2683]

Not too bad, but here are some pointers to improve your videos.

1) Never go for more than 2 to 3 seconds without talking. Have everything you want to say scripted and ready to go beforehand. If you don't have enough to fill 10 minutes, then shorten the video.

2) Leave the radio off. If someone is watching this on a computer, especially a laptop, it won't matter if you are listening to the best stereo ever installed in a car, the sound doesn't translate well over the net to a computer.

[learber]

@al2683 Dude its a review so he cant have it scripted because how would he know how it is

[al2683]

@learber When you do a car review, before you ever go on camera, you take a notebook, and make notes on what you want to talk about. Then you create a short script, with key words to keep you on track.

[merfwriter]

North Carolina! I knew it! I was wondering what state you were driving in. i was guessing down south possibly north carolina. you know how i knew? the type of tall narrow trunk trees. don't know what they are called. my grand parents lived in N.C. and we came down from MD during the summer to visit and go to the beach. the trees change from VA to NC and that's how I know i'm in the state without looking for the welcome to N.C. sign.

[landyachtfan79]

WOW, Frampton really DOES come alive on that stereo!!!!!!!!!!

[arthur1920]

Does anyone know what the Doo Wop song is that is played in the current La Crosse Commericial? The one that begins..."to everyone who didn't buy a Buick this year....?

[presidentbren]

I like that blinker sound. Sounds like my 69 Camaro.

[norra124]

sounds like it's very noisy inside

[williturbo]

I like it, very nice car...

[MIketucky350]

look at those cheap ass seats. fucking junk. try a lesabre ANY year.

[scottm7635]

@MIketucky350 LeSabres are great if you don't mind going places on a tow truck. I had three and they were poor quality. Got towed twice (only times out of 17 cars owned) and had a whole front end fall out. I;m not trying to start an arguement, just sharing my experience. I'm driving a LaCrosse now and love it. By the way, the LaCrosse replaced the Century, which is a lower end than the LeSabre was. The LeSabre was replaced with the Lucerne.

[MIketucky350]

its not nice like the lesabre. why and buzzy motor. NOT A BUICK its a fraud

[craziboutcars1]

Love ur vids and I love this car!

[starview1]

Rented one,used it Az for month,prior lexus,BMW I'd say this car is equal,certainly the warranty is the best of the bunch

[BrianXD16]

hey how much does this car cost?

[TyWhite96]

Is this car a V8 or V6? Just wondering because it can pick up and go!

[Jesecon209]

$25,000 car and they only put a 40 gig HD in it?

[derbigpr500]

@Jesecon209 HD is the least important thing in a car.

[wilsontt88]

Oh my Ford! That was one super noisy car.

I thought buicks are supposed to be quiet? The sound level on this one is just barbaric.

[hemroidalrampage]

@wilsontt88 Haha are you crazy? Go test drive one, it is quieter than a lexus.

[wilsontt88]

@hemroidalrampage

Then please re-listen to the sound level during the test drive. It's very noisy. Perhaps the windows are opened?

[figure261]

@wilsontt88 when your in the car it is actully very quiet

[hemroidalrampage]

@wilsontt88 Im assuming the A/C was on as well as the radio through most of it.

[wilsontt88]

@hemroidalrampage

Amazing. Thank you for pointing it out. You do make smart comments as usual.

[Sparksterfu]

They need to put a v8 in that thing at least for the upper trim level hopefully they will do it for the 2012 model maybe the 5.3L ls4 they used on the G8 and the older La Crosse.

[MrPetrolhead09]

Gorgeous interior!

[PorscheORviper]

americans need to be buying american cars . why not put the money back in your economy. so you can stop complaining about recessions or bail outs.

[Sparksterfu]

@PorscheORviper Well see the a lot of the foreign car companies have big factories in the state where they employ a lot of Americans. Hyundai is a good example, I think they build something like 80% of cars here. So even by buying foreign you are still helping keep Americans employed and the economy going.

[PorscheORviper]

@Sparksterfu Yes that's true but we wont have to pay through our taxes to bail Hyundai out and if we all brought GM cars they would have a high demand for workers and that money would go 100% into our economy. By the way as we speak we are still paying for GM they are getting 45 billion dollar tax break on top of the bail out. smh

[form109]

Gotta Love that Instrument Cluster....gauge sweep is pretty sweet

[NeoQuello]

why does it have to be harman and kardon or bose or olufsen and bang ??? I bet Sony or Pioneer or Samsung can get the job done... at wheey lesser price ...

[SparkZ1420]

NC huh? Representing our state man way to go. I love the new Lacrosses, just wish they had a V8. But they are a DAM GOOD LOOKING car. Wish GM would throw the same LS9 thats in the CTSV in it, heck I would be happy with a LS3 in that car.

[figure261]

mhmmm... buick is back and i hope they make a min van and make it like all tricked out and modern :)

[ChaoticGodz]

ugh the first time I saw this car I knew it was my dream car

[leefuji]

nice car but not sure about this color interior !!

[liferocknroll]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh egging on WMG are you still with the radio if you love that radio so much why don't you marry it.

[Andrey2391]

Why would you test acceleration going downhill? lol

[kolder1172]

how fast dose it go in km ?

[kolder1172]

how fast dose it go in km ?

[georgio941]

On the 2011 models... is ambient blue lighting standard or part of a package on the cx? Also, do you know if the wood is standard on the base cx model? Thx and excellent review of this fantastic vehicle!

[TheJohn7600]

This car is amazing buick, opel and cadillac are best car brands in GM

[mrtechnic305]

hey, do you think it runs smoother & more powerful then your lexus es?

[leefuji]

@mrtechnic305 I've driven both and the ES is definitely the winner in regards your question.

[GranFury440]

That is my pet peeve! It's not two thousand AND ten. It's two thousand ten or twenty ten.

[precisethoughts]

FRAMPTON

[1MrTwinkle]

beautiful car

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

I love this car looks like an lexus

[kolder1172]

how fast can the lacrosse go ?

[taylor1212eminem]

nice jean shorts

[poskyflyer]

you gunna test the new regal aswell? :)

[poskyflyer]

oh you did it already haha

[wongmylesa]

This motor sounds so loud and coarse... Not very refined!

[xwy1994]

I just read over my first post and it sounds like i'm really just "hatin" on this car but..

GM really should have people test german cars and at least try to emulate the noises made by things like buttons, turn stalks etc. This car just sound so cheap. I dont want to hear that fo 600000 miles. I'm trying to like american cars but I dont think that in this day and age I should have to sacrifice.

[xwy1994]

Well it looks decent on the outside, but I dont like the cheap sounds the seatbelt makes, dont like that loud turn signal, dont like the cheap sound from the gearshifter. I dont like how that interior make me think some old custom or roadmaster thing would look just like it inside even though i've never seen one. Question when you were first accelerating why the hell did it sound like an old detroit diesel, like it was just holding the gears or like it was a cvt trans?

[323Farror]

PUNCH IT

[ProFessionaI09]

kinda looks like a small mini van car lol

[313hotboi]

GREAT VIDEO! EXCELLENT JOB!

[Darkmagic424]

can you do a test drive of the 2005 volkswagon jetta 2.5 thx

[KosaiAvonej]

It's a shame only old folks can afford these, I want a luxury car like this.

[ElectroGhandi]

In my opinion, the exterior styling of the first generation LaCrosse before the facelift was the best but the interior in this new second gen is much improved.

[ABisopht]

what song was that he played in the car in the beginning?

[lydiaferdin88]

does the cxs model come with ambient lighting standard? why do i have to select it as an option at buick.com

[hemroidalrampage]

@lydiaferdin88 Ya even the cx does. Im not sure why you have to select it.

[spritz0]

VERY VERY well done, BRAVO!!!

[mohammad407]

Can be sold in the Saudi market?

[derbigpr500]

Its a nice car, but it really kills me when i hear the squeaks from the plastic panels, even on the video, so it must be much worse in person. And its a new car, who knows how much rattles and squeaks there will be in interior after 200000-250000 kilometers

[hemroidalrampage]

@derbigpr500 I don't hear any squeaks from mine, or the video (although it could be my poor speaker quality). This car is extremely quiet, that could contribute to hearing every little noise that would normally not be noticed.

[codemister00]

i really dont care for the newer buicks they look to foriegn
